As before, we can ask ourselves: What happens as {{MATH_93}} gets closer and closer to {{MATH_94}}?
In other words, what is the meaning of the limit of slopes of secant lines through the points {{MATH_95}} and {{MATH_96}}
as {{MATH_97}} gets closer and closer to {{MATH_98}}?
How can we interpret the limit
{{MATH_99}}
provided that the limit exists?
This scenario is illustrated in the figure below. What happens as {{MATH_100}}?
